Open Include, not opening from user include Dir

[JackDinn]

hi ,

not sure if its a bug or just me, prob just me but when i put a UDF(xxx.au3) into my user include folder it works fine when i call a _func from within it in my code but if i try to display the code of the UDF file with "Tools/Open Include" it just says it cant find the file , and yes i have set up my user include folder in the settings.

Thx

Jack.

Just noticed that the OpenInclude file doesn't use the settings from au3.properties but the "Jump To Func Prod" does.

This line is used by the function:

openpath.$(au3)=C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\PriveIncludes;$(autoit3dir)\include

Will add it to the ToDO list to implement the same logic for the Open Include logic.

I'm not sure if this will be addressed by the same section of code, but UNC paths are also affected.

Trying to use OpenInclude with this code: (replace with valid paths, of course)

#include "\\server\share\include.au3"

returns this error:

File not found at :\server\share\include.au3 or C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\include\\server\share\include.au3

Jump to Func Prod works fine, as does running/compiling.

Keep up the excellent work! Thanks!

This stuff still works.
If you have your own UDF folder and you want to use the jump to function or open include tools then you need to modify the file:

SciTEUser.properties in C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Local\AutoIt v3\SciTE

add the line:

openpath.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\include;c:\path\to\your\custom\include\folder

You can separate multiple folders with ;  I have 3 include paths

 

You should really update the registry here too, with a string (REG_SZ) of the same format (but without the "openpath.$(au3)=$(SciteDefaultHome)\..\include;" on the front)

HKCU\Software\AutoIt v3\AutoIt\Include

(see picture for an example)

 

while I am in the SciTEUser.properties file, I like to give my UDF a custom color too (see picture below for what I mean by this)

style.au3.16=fore:#0080B0

 

Now that you are on a roll, why not modify the Scite 4 AutoIt Right click menu to include useful tools (such as run tidy, block comment, jump to function, open include...) - see picture below.

add this line to : @ProgramFilesDir & "\autoit3\Scite\Properties\au3.properties"

user.context.menu=||Run Tidy|1109|Block Comment or Uncomment|243|Jump to function|1118|Jump Back|1120|List Functions|1121|Open Include|1132|
